  • Factors Influencing Non-Music Majors' Decisions to Participate
    FACTORS INFLUENCING NON-MUSIC MAJORS' DECISIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGIATE BANDS A DISSERTATION IN Music Education and Curriculum and Instruction Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by JENNIFER ANN MODER BME, The University of Illinois, 2001 MME, Illinois State University, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 JENNIFER ANN MODER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FACTORS INFLUENCING NON-MUSIC MAJORS' DECISIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN COLLEGIATE BANDS Jennifer Ann Moder, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT William Revelli stated that perhaps one of the greatest weaknesses of our school band programs is that, for the majority of the students, active participation ceases upon the day of graduation from our high schools. Music educators should strive to motivate all students, regardless of degree path, toward lifelong music making. After high school, many students do not pursue music as a major yet decide to participate in a collegiate ensemble. It seems relevant to investigate the influences behind these choices. The purpose of this study was to determine what factors contributed to a non-music major’s decision to participate in their collegiate band(s). An email soliciting student participation was sent to college band directors through the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA). The 17-question electronic survey included an open-ended response, a 7-point Likert-type scale investigating factors that influenced their decision to participate in a collegiate ensemble, and demographic information. Participants (N = 2,933) were students enrolled at 95 colleges and universities from 37 states.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School ORAL HISTORIES OF WOMEN INSTRUMENTALISTS IN COLLEGE MARCHING BANDS POST-TITLE IX A Dissertation in Music Education by Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson © 2021 Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2021 ii The dissertation of Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson was reviewed and approved by the following: Linda C. Thornton Professor of Music Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Graduate Program Chair for Music Education Darrin H. Thornton Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Outreach Teaching Professor of Music Charles D. Youmans Professor of Musicology Jaime Schultz Professor of Kinesiology iii ABSTRACT Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act was passed in 1972. This legislation prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in publicly funded educational institutions, including all colleges and universities in the United States. In the public arena, Title IX has become synonymous with the fight for equality for women in sport; however, its positive effects for equality for women were farther reaching. Women in higher education gained unprecedented access to academic and social circles on college campuses. The rights granted by Title IX to women that permitted participation alongside men in college marching bands in the 1970s is an area that has virtually been absent from the research. The purpose of this study was to investigate and record the experiences of the first women instrumentalists to participate in collegiate marching bands in the post- Title IX era. I drew on a subject-oriented oral history methodology with a historical basis in the second wave feminist moment.

  • Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation
    1 The American Bandmasters Association Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation Recipients of the Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation Victor William Zajec (Chicago, IL, March 4, 1923 - Homewood, IL, January 26, 2005) Compiled by Victor W. Zajec, 1998 Maintained by Raoul F. Camus, ABA Historian 2 THE EDWIN FRANKO GOLDMAN MEMORIAL CITATION Edwin Franko Goldman (1878-1956), founder and conductor of the Goldman Band of New York City, was also the founder (1929), first President (1930-1932), and second Honorary Life President of The American Bandmasters Association (1933-1956). Shortly after Goldman’s death, the ABA sought ways to honor the memory of the man who was such an integral part of its beginnings. ABA President Otto J. Kraushaar charged the Special Citation Committee to “prepare recommendations whereby the Association could formally recognize certain persons outside the membership of ABA for outstanding services to the band movement in America.” The committee’s report was received in 1962. At the same time, the Goldman Memorial Committee was considering a suitable memorial that would recognize the contributions of the ABA founder. Both committees agreed jointly to recommend, for consideration by the ABA Board of Directors and the ABA past presidents, that The Edwin Franko Goldman Memorial Citation be established. In addition to honoring Goldman’s memory, the purpose of the award is to provide recognition to those outside the membership of The American Bandmasters Association (ABA) who have rendered conspicuous service in the interest of bands and band music in America. The first Citation was presented to Harry Guggenheim, sponsor of the Goldman Band concerts, at a concert on the Mall in the Guggenheim Memorial Band Shell, New York, on July 20, 1963.
